Who Are We?
The Point is a newspaper organization comprised of high school students from multiple districts and schools. We strive to create a newspaper that showcases the different perspectives of students from all over world. In doing so, we hope to build an open body of peers that are willing to listen and learn from the ideas, encounters, and opinions, of our writers. The Point’s goal is simple: to build a foundation where students can connect and express themselves freely without judgment, a relatable platform where students can feel at ease.
Why We Started
The Point was started by a series of questions - why do the writings of adults matter more than teens? Why do people listen to the opinions of adults, and not teenagers? Why do students not have an outlet where they can express themselves by writing? The Point was created in order to remedy these problems and bring about a change that lets teenagers express their ideas to a willing party of peers. From the very beginning, we wanted to establish a space that’s primarily made for students, by students.
